Since moving to Charleston in 2004, my wife Sue, and I, have been amazed by the people of Charleston. Never before had we met so many friendly and high character people. Yes, we love all that Charleston has to offer; its beaches, the food, and the weather, but it is the people and community that make us so proud to call ourselves Charlestonians. After the tragic shooting one year ago at Mother Emanuel AME, Charleston’s response made us even more proud to be part of such a special community. During the toughest and most difficult of times, our cities’ character shined brighter than ever. The strength of the community was highlighted many times, including when, family members of the victims stood in court and told the shooter, “I forgive you.” It

South Carolina’s property taxes are one of the lowest in the United States. Across the United States, the median property tax is 1.31 percent.

All of these states have over 2 percent property tax rates. For example, one of our staff members recently moved here from Massachusetts and where they paid $10,000 dollars a year in property taxes. After their move to Mount Pleasant into a similarly

One of my favorite restaurants in Daniel Island, Laura Alberts, has been doing Southern Cuisine right since 2002. When we first went to Laura Alberts in 2002 the mother-daughter team of Karen Elsey and Laura Leppert was simply a small wine shop.
